Sometimes : Sometimes children can develop urethral or vaginal irritation from soaps and bubble baths leading to a stinging or burning pain. This can be treated by having the child drink lots of fluids and by having the child take a baking soda bath (1/4 baking soda in a half-full bath tub). The following symptoms are reasons to take your child sooner to the doctor's for evaluation: -any bleeding or blood in the urine -fever -abdominal pain -back pain -any swelling or discoloration of the genitals -worsening symptoms or if he is not better in 24-48 hours. Your child's doctor may also have additional suggestions, so you can always give them a call for advice while you wait until your appointment.

Rash: A rash, especially in a 4 year-old, that is not getting better needs to be seen by someone in the doctor's office. Ask to see anybody in the doctor's office and don't take "no" for an answer.
